P: 2013The call of Parikrama can once again be heard as they have finally materialized here in the Manusyaloka, or our human realm again. After having seemingly phased out of our world the travellers have visited the vast continents circling Mount Meru and on their way back nearly got lost in the thick vegetation of the age old Himmaphan forest, having there encountered bizarre creatures that defy description.
Seasoned gterma veterans will remember these lands protected by the Four Heavenly Kings as well as the long and treacherous journey to the northern land of Uttarakuru. The path lays ahead...

P: 2012Long before Buddhism spread into the Himalayas the region was at the mercy of frightening spirits and powerful divinities.Seetyca and Artin Mucht join the bonpo shamans in search for traces of the old faith, now consumed by the benevolent teachings of Lord Buddha. These are stark aural landscapes with a mystic touch, yet clear as crystalline ice. Allow yourself to be lost in the world of Parikrama. The album comes in a jewelcase with a 12-page booklet.This is a great cd, evoking huge distances and snow-capped elevations. Some synthesizer pads / sweeps are used, and there are acoustic sounds added, such as bells, flutes, various horns and other sounds. As a whole, the disc reminds me of what it must be like to grab a coat and backpack and wander the heights of Tibetan mountains, hearing the wind and the sounds of an occasional village party borne across it.
